## About

```text
At Allied Brasil, I lead Azure cross-region migrations with Azure Site Recovery, AzCopy, ARM Templates, and Azure CLI, rebuilding PaaS and IaaS workloads with network and security teams.

I build and maintain Terraform modules and deliver infrastructure automation through GitLab CI/CD. I also operate production EKS and AKS clusters with Rancher, and restored the EKS Cluster Autoscaler using IRSA, least-privilege policies, RBAC, and Helm adjustments.

Before Allied Brasil, I maintained cloud and on-premises infrastructure at KLA – Koury Lopes Advogados and supported clinics across Brazil and South America at Espaçolaser. My work spans Azure, AWS, GCP, and OCI, with a focus on security, high availability, and operational continuity.
